Morning: Brewing Coffee and Compliance
As I step into the Wurk office, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. It’s 8:30 AM, and I’m ready to tackle the unique HR challenges that come with serving cannabis business owners. My first task of the day is reviewing recent changes in state regulations affecting our clients’ employment practices.
Mid-Morning: Client Consultations
By 10:00 AM, I’m on a video call with a dispensary owner in Colorado. We’re discussing:
- Updating their employee handbook to reflect new state laws
- Implementing a compliant payroll system
- Developing strategies for employee retention in a competitive market
Lunchtime: Team Collaboration
At noon, our team gathers for a working lunch. We’re brainstorming new recruitment strategies tailored to the cannabis industry. It’s crucial to find candidates who are not only qualified but also passionate about the evolving world of cannabis.
Afternoon: Training and Development
The afternoon is dedicated to creating a new training module on workplace safety for cultivation facilities. This involves:
- Researching industry-specific OSHA guidelines
- Collaborating with our legal team to ensure compliance
- Designing engaging, interactive content for our learning management system
Late Afternoon: Troubleshooting and Support
As the day winds down, I field calls from clients needing assistance with our HR software. From helping a new hire complete their onboarding paperwork to guiding a manager through the performance review process, each interaction reinforces the unique value Wurk brings to the cannabis industry.
Evening: Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead
Before heading home, I review tomorrow’s schedule and make notes on key priorities. As I leave the office, I feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that our work is helping to professionalize and streamline HR practices in this exciting, rapidly growing industry.
Working at Wurk isn’t just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of HR in the cannabis sector, one solution at a time.
